TV: SNY Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets home opener isn’t sold out but it will be fun for a big crowd today. The Nationals come to town after losing three of their last four games. Zimmermann had a good start in a loss to Atlanta. He went 6 IP and gave up 2 earned runs on 4 hits and 3 walks.

Dickey had a very good start against the Marlins despite not being as sharp as he was at the end of last season. He threw 6 shutout innings in Florida in his season debut. Hopefully, he gives the fans something to cheer about today for the opener at Citi Field.
